Why do 5-year-olds run or walk crouching and complain of leg pain?

Patient's question:

My daughter is 5 years old. Recently, she often suddenly squats down while running or walking and says her legs hurt.

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be caused by a lack of calcium. It is recommended to supplement with calcium. Yogurt is also a very good food for calcium supplementation. It not only helps with calcium but also contains beneficial bacteria that can regulate intestinal function, making it suitable for all age groups. The occurrence of pediatric orthopedic diseases severely affects the patient's work. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits, consume more calcium-rich foods, and avoid or reduce the chance of onset.
